Led by a pair of guitarists who seem, by sheer force, to
be powering their amplifiers rather than the other way
around, Birds of Avalon make thunderous, precise rock with
enough proggy smarts to keep you on your toes.ö Steve
Haruch for the Nashville Scene After a 7-year stint in a
prison van with the double drum, frenetic rock n' roll
assault known as The Cherry Valence, guitarists Cheetie
Kumar and Paul Siler, felt a growing desire to move on. In
a final whirlwind year that saw The Cherry Valence touring
Europe multiple times, the couple, Kumar and Siler, got
married and made the difficult decision to divorce their
band. Returning home hitched and band-less, they began
late night clandestine meetings with neighbor and local
crooner Craig Tilley (The Weather), where they hatched a
plan to form Birds of Avalon and laid the foundation for
what was to become the first batch of Birds Of Avalon
songs. Still needing to round out their line up they
snared their favorite area drummer Scott Nurkin (Dynamite
Brothers) and soon added multi-instrumentalist and
fanatical 4 tracker, David Mueller on bass. Having
developed a unique psychedelic meets progressive sound
that yields feelings that transcend the conventions of
both, the Birds Of Avalon skillfully channel elements of a
time in Rock since past, while representing their current
place in the lineage of North Carolinian independent rock
heritage. Easily traversing the gray area between raw
blues rock and atmospheric pysch-pop, Birds Of Avalon ôcan
tear it up in a three-minute barn-burner or lure you into
an extended psychedelic journey, wandering
schizophrenically like a Brian May guitar solo,ö so says
Jens Lekman of Cincinnati City Beat. Since their
inception, Birds Of Avalon have recorded a self titled
e.p., toured up and down the east coast, throughout the
Midwest and eventually around the entire US earlier this
summer. Sharing the stage with luminaries such as Ted Leo
and the Pharmacists, Fucking Champs, Big Business, Oneida,
Mudhoney, Valient Thorr, Destroyer, Federation X and Drunk
Horse. Presently the Birds Of Avalon are working on their
debut full length set for release in April 2007 with Mitch
Easter (R.E.M., LetÆs Active, Wilco), Greg Elkins and
Brian Quast.
